Organic small molecule semiconducting chromophores for use in organic electronic devices

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1420772

Small organic molecule semi-conducting chromophores containing a pyridalthiadiazole, pyridaloxadiazole, or pyridaltriazole core structure are disclosed. Such compounds can be used in organic heterojunction devices, such as organic small molecule solar cells and transistors.
